Why Pre-Assembled?

Stop Wiring Consumer Units on Site

Time is your most expensive material

A pre-assembled consumer unit arrives wired, labelled, tested and ready to connect. Eliminates on-site wiring time, reduces the risk of errors under pressure, and gets you to the next job faster. For installers doing multiple jobs a week, the time saving compounds quickly.

Common Questions

Consumer Unit Trade FAQs


Are the units fully compliant with BS 7671 Amendment 3 (18th Edition)?

Yes. All consumer units are assembled and tested to BS 7671:2018 including Amendment 3. Documentation is supplied with each unit to support your installation certificate.

Can I order a custom configuration not listed above?

Yes. Trade accounts can request custom configurations — different RCBO ratings, additional circuits, specific breaker brands or non-standard layouts. Minimum quantities may apply for bespoke builds. Speak to your account manager.

Do I need a Type A or Type B RCBO for my EV charger?

If the charger has built-in 6mA DC fault detection, a Type A RCBO is sufficient. If not, a Type B RCBO provides the required protection. Your account manager can advise based on the charger model.

What's the cut-off time for next-day delivery?

Orders placed before 1pm on working days dispatch same day for next working day delivery. Orders placed after 1pm or on weekends and bank holidays dispatch the following working day.

Can I bundle consumer units with a charger order?

Yes — and many trade customers do exactly this. Ordering your consumer unit alongside your charger means a single delivery and a single invoice. Ask your account manager about bundled orders and whether volume pricing applies.
